Here’s a great chili recipe with a great story that I couldn’t pass up. It’s super easy to make, ready in a few minutes, and flavorful and satisfying to everyone. It would be a good standby at any casual gathering. You’d probably be pretty popular if you served this on Superbowl day or on any game day.
This Chili’s Story (told by the family’s daughter) “Delicious bean, tomato & corn chili, adapted from a recipe which used to contain meat, but our family then became vegetarians! Lots of spice and flavor, not for those into mild foods. This is a fast & easy recipe, and you can experiment with more & different types of spices to tune it to your liking. My father has been making it for about 20 years now, and it is still awesome every time I eat it!”
